About SCANPO

Welcome!

With hands joined across our state, SCANPO serves the thousands of South Carolinians dedicated to community service, leadership and caring through nonprofit and philanthropic organizations.

Founded in 1997, the South Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations is the only statewide network that brings together charitable organizations to strengthen the state’s entire nonprofit sector.

We believe that well-managed and responsibly governed nonprofits result in stronger and healthier South Carolina communities.

Our new logo – hands firmly shaking across the state – reflects SCANPO’s core value of collaboration and our bold vision for a vital and effective nonprofit sector. The bright teal-blue color conveys optimism and impact.

Our new tagline – “Together. For Good.” –  tells how we will move forward, and why.

SCANPO’S mission is to ”serve, support and strengthen nonprofits for a better South Carolina”.

We aim to:

  • build the knowledge network
  • promote collaboration and
  • strengthen our collective voice.

As a member organization, we are only as strong as our membership base.

We invite you to join SCANPO, and help us realize our vision, that: ”All nonprofit organizations in South Carolina will exhibit the highest standards of accountability and effectiveness resulting in a better quality of life for the citizens of our state.”
